Ignoring the rape joke drama (because I already said my piece about that the last time we discussed it), I really think a lot of it is just the nature of liking things on the Internet. When something's new and awesome, some people put it on pedestals that are too high, some people who are only kind of into it pretend to be more into it than they are because they want to be a part of it, and the people who really don't like it feel like isolated voices.

Then maybe some flaws in the thing become more obvious (nothing is perfect). The people who put it on pedestals fall out of love with it a little, the people who were only so-so on it are more realistic about their dislikes, the people who didn't like it feel more emboldened to make their opinions known (and as the thing gets more and more popular there's more and more of those people - especially since a lot of people are exposed to it in a way that comes with massive hype and expectations). And some people just get tired of it, and then the worm turns and everyone hates it.

So yeah, I don't think it's anything fundamentally here. More compressed and more extreme b/c of the nature of modern Internet but not fundamentally different.
